SPOTS ARE STRONG New York and New Orleans Follow—11c Again Appearing. \>w York. Nov. a*.—At the opening to rt.’ y the local cotton market was steady Rt mi advance of 1 to 6 poluti. influenced by rtrmnes* of the inarket at Liverpool over the holiday. The offerings were light. The position of December was strengthened by JhP belief that the notices on almut 30.000 fl les that,were outstanding would be re called by the bulls. During our holiday Thursday prices f,,r both spots and futures were better than due, and on Friday the advance whs further Increased, the close being Arm 6 to * points higher, whereas 2% to 4 points would have been a full response to New York’s closing on Wednesday, and snot cot ton has advanced 8 points since Wednesday. However. Friday aalea showed n sharp fall* ing off ns compared with the previous dH.va of the week, aggregating only 7,000 bnles at 6.14. At the opening In New Y’ork very small Advances were recorded—1 to 6 poluts. That the improvement was not greater wus at tributed to the sending out of December notices sround the opening, which caused hesitancy st tho start. Immediately after the call prices started upward, and In short order December crossed the He mark, while Mar seld at 11c flat. The buying was of k -ood character niid Included Klordnn, Hut ton.

NOTES ON GRAIN. Pointer? on Provisions. Special to The Georgian. (From Hayward. Vick k Clark.) Chicago, Nov. 29^—Bartlett, Fraxlcr Carrington: Foreign advices atate that the market weakened on reporta df rain In tho Bombay section of India. Thl* probably will canse lower market* hero today, but tho strength of the situation Is unchanged. Wo have already aold about all the west can spare this country, and we still be lieve In higher prices. „ . . Receipts of coarse grain* are Tery light. Tho demand shows signs of improvement. We still believe there will bo extreme scarcity of corn here during the month of December. The farmers do not «eem dls- r »seil to sell at present prices. Chicago Record-Herald: It Is expected that the regular government report Issued December 10 will show a smaller winter wheat acreage than that aeeded last yen?. Tho wheat crop of Canada, Including On tario, Is officially estimated at 88,00,Ow bn. or 24 per cent less than tho eroujof 1906 and 18 per cent lesa than that of 190G.J Hed- retary Fowler’s report of the crop of the Canadian Northwest made tho total 64.675, average of 12.9 bn. per aero. The western view of the Canadian figures wn* verv btillieh. It was counted that not oyer 5<» per cent of the Northwestern Canadian erop was of grade sufficiently gn^l for i$Ill- lug nml seen.' .

One of the mills Is hooked ahead ami is running full'both on foreign and domestic business, while the other Is run ning fairly strong on domestic trade almost exclusively.

Corn men are watching th«> Illinois crop with much more Interest tbnn usual. There Is a wide diversity of opinion as to the quantity that can be got hero lu tpuo for delivery on December contract*. A major ity of yesterday’* advices Indicated that the corn waa too damp for shipment, but that there would likely be quite nn increase In shipments next week If the weather was good.

These two stocks, according to the best Informa tion obtainable, are purchases upon all re cessions. We favor the Hill stocks; also Northern Pacific and Great Northern. Town Topics: While the market leaders have continued strong, tve regard tbla as practically entirely due to short covering and manipulation. Under cover of this there hns been heavy selling, -esneelallv In such stocks as Pennsylvania. New York Central, Ht. Paul nnd Amalgamated. This has been long stock put up as collateral on marketing loans, and there Is every reason to believe that there Is a great deal more of such liquidation overhanging the market. There may be little business doing today or tomorrow on account of the holiday break ing Into the week, hnt we regard the out look for the next week aa decidedly unfa vorable and would take adifiintage of strong spots as they appear to ^*11 stocks. The efforts to arouse confidence In the ascending quotations for copper metal are not regnrdcd in the trade as calcnlated to be successful, especially ns the demand from the actual consuming Interests Is na backward as ever. Indeed, we remain ex ceedingly bearish on copper metal and the Copper and Smelting issue*, and we believe that very much lower prices-will rule dur ing the next few weeks. Union Pacific and Rending will probably again he subJert of manipulation today, but these stocks also, lu our opinion, may be sold on the rallies with full faith that they can be recovered at marked concessions from the present quotations. The demand for spot eotton continues rather disappointing, and we would sell both cotton and vsheat on bulge* for tnrns. Early London prices for Americans come strong nnd higher.
